minute to win it

We put together a little birthday party for Nate and we had a BLAST!!! Little games that were so fun from the game show minute to win it. We had silly prizes for every game.
We used this invite via email... From thedatingdivas.com

We used this timer. from youtube. They have other choices, but we liked this music the best.

The first game we did was Breakfast Scramble.  Which is basically a puzzle cut out of a cereal box. The blueprint is here. It's way harder than you think. :)
PRIZE: mini boxes of cereal

Then we did a chopstick challenge which basically means you get 35 marshmallows from one bowl to the other in under a minute. There was no blueprint for this one. We made it up. :) Or somebody else did on a blog somewhere. :)
PRIZE: fortune cookies

Then we did noodling around.   Here's the blueprint and also the champs of the whole thing:
PRIZE: fancy pasta sauce
Then we did Chocolate Unicorn. No pictures but a really fun game. Blueprint is here.
PRIZE: a box of ding-dongs

Then we did Defying Gravity. Blueprint is here. We modified it a little for couples. 5 balloons for 2 people. These two had the right strategy.
PRIZE: Cheetos 'puffs'
Next we did Play it by Ear. Blueprint is here. Gettin' in the game! PRIZE: altoids....(noisy tins)
Look at us havin' a good time!! :)

Finally we did Face the Cookie. You get some pretty awesome faces doing this game. Hilarious! Here's the blueprint.
PRIZE: oreos. - not the ones that have been on people's faces. :)
 
Thanks to all our friends for making it a wonderful party.
Happy Birthday N8! I love you forever and ever.

We love our pools. Especially with friends. Here we are trying to convince Nate he can do a front flip.

To better suit my purposes, I have decided to make this more of a journal. That's what it is anyway, but I see no reason to allow random people to see it. I am going *private* Please leave your email if you are even a casual observer at the happenings in the Pettit household. You are welcome any time. The change will happen one month from today.
